I’ll be making a thread of my art from now on starting with this one. What better way to commemorate the end of something than with something brand new?

This year has been very rough, might as well do both fanart and a tribute. Two things helped me out this year, Unus Annus and my fish, Wishbones. Both are gone (as of writing this the timer is at 00:00:45:30). This took 1 hour and 40 minutes to draw

I saw Wildwood a few days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it, I think it might be my favorite animated movie. It’s so… sobering in a sense. Like, you can’t fight against life, sometimes someone you love will die without any closure, hardly anything’s in your control
I think… with my tapestry crochet thing and my newfound ability to make plushies using that technique… I think that I could make some INSANELY cool things if I just plan it out more. I think once my current plush is done, I’m gonna experiment with that mask I started

I am very happy to share with you, our first trailer for the documentary about yours truly, "Don Bluth: Somewhere Out There." I would love to know what you think. - Don youtu.be/7rWzQ0iVNYo
Got some books! Very excited to have spotted Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell since the show might overturn Better Call Saul as my favorite show. Been wanting to read the book for a while now! Also bought two picture books since the art looked absolutely wonderful! Very excited!
Animation very much is all art rolled in to one, and stop motion was like “moving drawings are amazing, but what if we applied all that to moving a little puppet AND give ourselves 5x more work?!” I LOVE art, I love that there’s people who just wanna make something beautiful
LAIKA's new stop-motion film ‘WILDWOOD’ was in production for 7 years.
• Over 1,000 artists worked on the film
• Over 132 practical sets were built
• Over 140,000 individual faces were made for the 236 unique puppets in the film

My Cherub is going well! The abdomen is full of weighted beads so he’s nice and heavy. The right arm is currently getting wet blocked! Gonna be the perfect little guy
My sis is pro AI art and I just… don’t get it. To her it doesn’t matter if it was made by a computer so long as it makes her feel something. Art is about relating to the human experience?? Where’s the human experience if it wasn’t made by one?
Theres no emotion or labor or thought put in, I cant relate to just a pretty picture if it wasn’t created. I LOVE pretty pictures, it’s why I love picture books so much, but those were made with love and care. They make me want to draw more BECAUSE a person made it

3 reasons to listen to the Amygdala Audiobook:
1/ Full musical score with real musicians and singers. Each character has their own theme and instruments.
2/ Narrated and edited by the author & fully produced by family with zero meddling.
3/ Easy to sit back and experience!
Raw vs finished eye! The crochet is a helpful base for then improving it with embroidered details! Takes a while but it’s so very much worth it. My little Cherub is gonna be amazing
Do watch Wolf Story, is awesome I love it so much. Perfection, we’re so back dude
Wolf story is probably one the best things I've seen in a long time. Perfectly captures an era of internet animation.

Y’know what I LOVE? Creating things! I’ll draw, animate, do pixel art, create crochet tapestries, sew plushies, make masks, whatever suites my fancy because creation is better than making something good!
